Hello Giuseppe, first of all let me say that the fact that you're giving it some thought bodes very well for the task in front of you. It means you at least have some inkling as to what's in front of you.

Straight from the heart without overthought, here is what I would say:

1. Do it. There's a life out there that you would change with your temperance and love.

2. Embrace the caffeine; it is your best friend! I've ridden the Texas Hotter than Hell 100 mile bicycle ride and had more energy the next day than after say, a full day at the zoo with my kids.

3. Just remember all kids will push buttons and push boundaries. That’s what we did as kids and what every child in history is programmed in their DNA to do as they gradually branch out on their own path. They’re just testing you; and be assured that it really is a test: every kid wants to know that you love them even if they're not perfect.

4. ...which doesn't mean you don't hold them accountable and call them out for their BS :-). With love, of course!

(I came back and edited my response because I realized my first pass made me sound like an even bigger jerk than my wife says I can be :-). Really it was more fumbling of words- I was trying to capture how kids seem to be able to synchronize with their parents and quickly learn the fastest way to get under your skin.)
